Hello list readers-
Are jhere any veterinarian / medical folks who can
answer the query - will ferrets get pertussis from
human exposures?
We are ( our area) in the midst of a pertussis
outbreak. The hospital is trying to contain it by
medicating all their staff and trying to provide
antibiotics to those known to have contact (visitors)
with their infected staff.
However the hospital serves a LARGE area and I have
concerns about folks with a cough bringing it into the
shelter. We have very young and compromised elderly
ferets!
Your insight is valued.
